I am often asked this question, 'What is the difference between a Counsellor and a Psychologist'?

Counselling focuses on client’s concerns and difficulties and includes understanding people’s patterns of thoughts, behaviours, feelings and the ways in which these may be problematic in their lives. Studying counselling involves learning how to assist people to develop an understanding about themselves and to make changes in their lives.

Psychologists are experts in human behaviour and emotion, with practical skills and research skills that can be applied to a wide variety of fields that include health, education and management. Clinical psychologists help with the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses across the lifespan. Most psychologists also help mentally healthy people to find ways of functioning better. For example, they train people to handle stress and family problems. In a nut shell if you want to learn CBT skills to help you cope then a Psychologist is the way to go.

I am often asked this question,

Do I need a referral from my Doctor or a Mental Health Plan to book an appointment to come for counselling?

The answer is: that you do not need a referral from your Doctor or a Mental Health Plan to come and see a counsellor. A Mental Health Plan is only required if you are going to see Psychologist.

If you are thinking of coming for counselling and are not sure what to expect then have a look at the definition below:

What Happens in a Counselling Session?

In counselling you will be listened to empathetically. You will not be judged or criticised. All sessions are strictly confidential. You will be treated with respect. You will determine your own goals for change and be supported by the counsellor.
